I have worked in batik ever since I can remember. It is a technique that has always brought me so much joy. I specifically love the fluidity and unpredictability of line, plus the saturation of vibrant colours.
I also love the metallic effect achieved using gutta and this decorative quality works beautifully on lampshades.
My batik and gutta work is primarily on silk and cotton. I mainly focus on floral imagery, but also like to create pieces of an abstract and architectural nature influenced by my local environment, trips and gallery visits.
